The rules around Agricultural Property Relief have changed.

As of April 2026, the relief is now capped at £1 million per individual. Anything above that threshold is subject to inheritance tax at 20%, which for larger farming estates is a significant shift from where things stood before.

For many farming businesses, the key question is no longer whether relief applies, but how much of the estate qualifies and how anything outside that is dealt with.

If you’re unsure of what these changes mean for you, or you have any questions, get in touch to speak to our agricultural team.

A Will is often seen as covering everything, but that's not always the case.

Some assets, including jointly owned property, pension funds, and certain investments, may sit outside of your Will and need to be dealt with separately.

It's something that catches a lot of people out, and it's exactly the kind of detail that's worth understanding before you assume everything is in order.

If you'd like to talk it through and make sure you’re fully protected, just get in touch to speak with our team.

Setting up a trust can feel daunting before you understand what's involved.

For many families, whether you’re planning for a loved one or looking to protect your assets, it’s often a much more straightforward and practical solution than you would expect.

The key is having someone take the time to explain the options clearly and guide you through the process properly.

If this is something you’re thinking about, get in touch to talk it through with our team.

Over the years our team has supported clients through everything from first home purchases and buy to let investments to commercial acquisitions, land sales, and large scale development projects.

The complexity might change, but our approach doesn’t.

With clear advice, careful attention to detail, and a focus on what matters most to the client, our solicitors work to keep the process smooth from start to finish – so everyone gets the results they’re aiming for!

Trusts are really about making things feel more certain.

They can help protect your wealth, set out how it should be managed, and make sure everything is clearly structured for the future.

Our solicitors understand how trusts need to be tailored to you and will guide you through the process as simply and as clearly as possible.

Most problems in a land sale won’t show themselves straight away.

It’s often only when the title, plans, and legal documents are reviewed properly that issues like ownership gaps, access rights, or restrictions come to light.

Whether you’re buying or selling, our solicitors can look into the details, identify any issues early, and help keep everything running smoothly.

A new agri-tech funding package has been announced by the government to help bring new farming technologies into practical use more quickly.

The focus is on tools that can help farmers and support productivity and resilience on farms, including developments in robotics, AI, and crop protection.

Our agricultural team can help you understand what these schemes mean in practice and how to make the most of the opportunities available.

Planning rules don’t always work the way you would expect.

Even small changes to land or buildings can require approval and missing something early can cause delays later on.

For example, loft conversions, outbuildings, solar panels, and changes to commercial premises all carry their own requirements, and what's permitted in one area isn't always permitted in another.

Our team can help you understand what’s required, avoid potential pitfalls, and keep your plans moving forward. Get in touch to talk!

It’s easy to put off thinking about future planning.

It can feel like there's always time to come back to it, and it often gets delayed as other priorities take over. But getting ahead of it now makes everything easier for you and your loved ones.

Having the right arrangements in place means your wishes are clearly set out and decisions can be handled smoothly when it matters most.

Our solicitors can guide you through the process and make sure everything is in place before you need it.
